The Philly sound in 1970s soul music, notable performers including Gamble and Huff, The O’Jays, The Stylistics, Teddy Pendergrass, Harold Melvin and The Delfonics, is well-known, as are jazz legends like Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, and John Coltrane. Philadelphia gave to the musical world diverse singers such as Marian Anderson, Mario Lanza, Solomon Burke, Chubby Checker, Dee Dee Sharp, and the trio performing as The Golden Boys, Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell and Fabian Forte, who grew up together in the same Philly neighborhood. This city is also the birthplace of American Bandstand, and the home of Cameo-Parkway Records and the famed Philadelphia Orchestra.
Following the American Revolution, Philadelphia became especially renowned for musical development and was the home of the esteemed Alexander Reinagle, John Christopher Moller, Rayner Taylor and Susannah Haswell Rowson. Reinagle became the most influential figure in Philadelphia’s musical life, organizing a number of concerts, organizations and musical events.
Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was a notable composer of the period.
One of his compositions, “My Days Have Been So Wondrous Free”, is well-remembered as the first art song from the United States (though this is disputed);
it is, however, lacking in originality and innovation to set it apart from European compositions.

(during the 1800s, ‘lawrenceville’ (/ ‘pennsylvania’) became (?) the birthplace of ‘stephen foster’, easily the most popular american songwriter of the century)
